I would like to use my personal example where I had absolutely zero experience in marketing a product/service until I practically started doing it. Some of the basics I learn that have stayed with me u till now are.
1. To market anything, just anything, it is vital that you know your product extremely well. You could be asked a question about the Compensation Plan when you are very new and to be able to answer this confidently will determine how well you will progress. Yes, experience will be your. Set teacher so do not be afraid about making any blunders. You will improve.
2. Make your talk about the product very enthusiastic, be energetic in your presentation. This must be genuinely portrayed otherwise people will judge you and discard what you are marketing as not being important. You can only feel this if you are passionate about what you do.
3. It's always good to start with family and friends who will come out with criticisms and you will not feel upset by their comments. A small group enhances your experience and gives you confidence to approach a more wider segment of people.
4. Write to people personal emails if you do not wish to approach them first. Get to know them and build a rapport with your prospects. Outline your message in a professional manner and be careful to use the "talk" to me rather than "do this" language. Be subtle and do not show aggression in your emails/correspondence. Your message should not sound like a recorded one but you feel like you are actually talking to the individual.
5. Ask for referrals from family and friends and select the group you will experiment with - to improve your skills.
As you start with these basics, you learn how to interact with prospects and give them what they ask for - that will push you to understand the needs of your prospects/customers and add to your experience. Nothing you do by way of your efforts, goes to waste, remember that.
